Foolish, Betting.

The Parliament OF Dole, in france,
was called upon to decide very curl
GUS wager in the year 1894. It was be-
tween two citizens of Pasmes, one of
whom had agreed, on consideration of
his being paid sum OF q francs, to fur
nish the other with quantity of grains
Of millet, in proportion to the number
OF children that should be born within
a certain extent Of country during one
year. He was to hand over one grain
for the first child, two for the second,
four for the third, and so on, always
doubling the number of grains for
each successive birth. The number of
children born within the specified time
was sixty-six, and such an enormous
quantity Of grains Of millet had to be
supplied to meet the conditions of the
agreement, that the contracting party
demanded the cancelling of the bet,
on the ground that it was founded On
an impossible condition. The Court
agreed at once that it was impossible
for the contract to be carried out, and
decided that the person who had re-
caived the q francs should repay them
to his opponent, and should give him
an additional sum of a francs Surely
this was anything but just Judgment,
for it was impossible that The gamer
could have lost. He had made his cal
culation and was betting upon the ig-
norance OF the loser. 1t was therefore
wager based upon bad faith, and
should have been annulled altogether.

A Clown Actor.

Amusement managers and specula-
tors have ever since the death of
George L. Fox looked in vain for his
equal. They see the necessity Of pan
tomime, and while they have the tricks
and traps, the Transformation scenes
and ballets and dances, they feel the
absence Of the one thing needful-an
actor clown. Not q mere acrobat and
contortionist, but merryman with Ian
guage in mobile features and a complete
knowledge of the requirements Of the
story Of the pantomime. Such a man
was Fox, inimitable in his day, and still
without a worthy successor. Fox was
long an excellent low comedian before
he donned the exaggerated costume of
the clown, and this experience as a
comic actor accounted in o measure for
his wondrous success as a pantomimist.
Dramatic actors Of the present day need
not turn up their noses at the idea Of
being clowns, as but few of them are
fitted for the aspiration, and it is on
record that Edmund Kean, Edwin For
rest, and even ascetic Henry Irving
were, in the early days Of their pro-
fessional career, nothing 10th to ex-
hibit their gifts in the direction Of stage
or ring gymnastics. There is ono
comedian in this very town seemingly
intended for the Fox vacancy. Heis a
very good actor, creates roars of
laughter by his capital and inoilensive
horse play, has features very much like
those Of Fox, an expressive counten-
ance, with the solemnity that is SO es-
sential to the ingenious wearer OF the
caps and bells who is the source Of all
the trouble in the voiceless drama. -

sparkling group; and when I saw their step
knew it, and when heard their voices l
thought knew them; but their apparel
was SO different from anything had ever
seen, bowed, stranger to stranger. But
after awhile, when they Slapped their
hands and shouted, Welcome! welco'ne!.'
the mystery was solved, and I saw that time
had passed, and that eternity had come,
and that God had gathered US up into a
higher home; and said care we all here"
and the voice of innumerable generations
answered, "An here" and while tears OF
gladness were raining down our cheeks,
and the branches of the Lebanon cedars
were clapping their hands, and the towers
of the great city were Ginning their vel,
come, we began to laugh, and sing, end end
leap, and shout: "Home! Home Hone!"'
Then felt a childs hand on my face and
it woke me. The children wanted to play
more. Children always want to play more.

The Wood Rat.

The wood rat lays up enormous stores
of acorns during or prior to the wet
season. But it is a useless provision,
as the nuts can be found at any lime.
A nest recently opened was arranged
seemingly in regular manner IS re-
CARDS apartments; the general shape is
domelile, being formed of sticls and
other refuse piled upon each otler. so
that it was torn apart with great diff
Guilty. Three openings were apparent,
leading in from below, and entering the
nest proper, which constituted the first
story. This was provided with soft
moss material Of various kinds, showing
that the wood rat has an eye for comfort.
Immediately above this was an apart
ment, if it can be so called, filled with
acorns, several quarts as near as Icousd
Judge, and above thisrose the dome:ike
top, forming perfect watershed, q
fact proved by the Try nest, that did
not show the slightest signs of moisture.
The position of thenest varies. In the
one mentioned it vas on the ground,
built up around q tree. Others are
constructed in tie open crossword,
and still another, in Millar's canyon, is
built on tree 81. or eight feet from
the ground. In zone nests the material
is undoubtedly the accumulation OF
years, and nigh we'll weigh ton, and
would form two good loads for cart.
Whether the wood rat hibernates
have been unable to determine, but am
inclined to think not; the supply OF
acorns pointing to an active appetite,
and have sen them out within a
month. Almost every branch of ami.
mails has it's representatives among the
winter or summer sleepers, and DR..
Abbott, the eminent arch@ologist, is
under the impression that he has OBJ
served swallows in chimney in q state
of Information. AS the snakes il
southern California and all over the
north hibernate in winter, so do the
large reptiles 81 Florida, as the alliga-
tors, though this is only in the portions
